Freshman year of college, my friend convinced me to take an aptitude test at the career center. 
I agreed just for kicks, but part of me was hoping this $10 test would help me figure out what to do with my life.

Afterwards, I sat down with an advisor and the printed results. She explained that my top three career matches were:

  1. Broadcast Journalist
  2. Chef
  3. Professional Librarian

I explained that:

  1. I have issues with teleprompters.
  2. I once tried to make peanut butter by combining peanuts and butter (probably around the same time the above photo was taken, but still...)
  3. I didn't know that was a thing.

So, back to square one. All I knew was I've always enjoyed writing. My interest in journalism in high school led me to explore screenwriting and copywriting in college. And I've always appreciated a good haiku.

In addition to writing, I enjoy rooting for (and having my heart broken by) DC sports teams and the Miami Hurricanes. I also love attending concerts of all different genres. My first concert was ZZ Top. And by ZZ Top, I mean N*Sync.

Finally, I have extremely strange dreams featuring angry camel gangs. More on that here.
